Last weekend we went down to Ridgeway and Ouray Colorado for a long weekend (Wed - Friday). Great trip, wonderful weather. We did a lot of things but didn't over do anything. Wed. mountain bike ride, drive with car up to Red mountain pass, hike and dinner. Thursday road ride up to the top of Red Mountain pass, then hike around Box canyon, 4 wheel to Yankee boy basin, yike and then cook out at camp. Friday was hike up to Chief Ouray mine.
